The atmosphere in the palace was obviously more depressing than usual. This ancient imperial city was already filled with a majestic atmosphere, but at this time it was even more suffocating.

When I hurried to the front of the Yong'an Hall, I saw Li Jinzhong, the chief executive, coming out to greet her. I was overjoyed when I saw her, and hurried up to call a thousand, and said: "Your Highness is here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, and the slaves are always watching the door. Let's see when you come."

"What's the matter, father?" Lu Jingan asked someone to arrange Yunya to sit in the side hall, and he kept walking. Fortunately, she was wearing an improved dress that was easy to move, and it did not affect her movements.

"You'll know when you go in and have a look." Li Jinzhong lowered his brows, with worry in his eyes.

Now that the news is blocked, he is not very good to speak out.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in the palace. The Empress wanted to come, but she was turned away."

Lu Jingan frowned upon hearing this, but nodded in response without saying anything.

It was still early in the sky, but candles were lit early in Yong'an Hall, but the curtains hanging all around made this huge palace even more oppressive, and even brought out a bit of an illusion of darkness.

There were a few wisps of medicinal smell in the hall, not very obvious, but it couldn't escape Lu Jingan's nose. She sniffed lightly, her brows furrowed deeper.

"In the end what happened?"

"A few days ago, when His Majesty was critiquing papers, there was a wind blowing, and he had a cold. He asked the imperial doctor to see him, and he prescribed medicine to take. He said that there was nothing serious, and he could take good care of it. But when he got up this morning, it suddenly became serious." Li Jinzhong wrinkled his old face and sighed.

Hearing this, Lu Jingan's brows filled with anger, and he said coldly, "Quack doctor!"

In the past few days, she has been running to the outskirts of the city, leaving early and returning late, and has no time to pay attention to the palace. She did not expect this to happen suddenly.

"Hey, isn't that right!" Li Jinzhong echoed, and said: "The Holy Spirit has always been strong, why is it so serious this time, he is not a quack doctor!"

Lu Jingan glanced at her, his eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't say anything.

There was coughing up blood two years ago, and now I have a cold. This time it suddenly became severe. It must have been in the lungs. I don't know when it became more serious, but no one told her.

The Yong'an Hall is very large, but the place where the emperor sleeps is very small. When Lu Jingan passed by, he saw that the prince was also there, kneeling beside the bed and feeding the emperor medicine.

"Father, how are you doing?" Lu Jingan hurried over, stopped beside the prince, and took half a step back so as not to disturb him feeding the medicine.

The emperor waved his hand, coughed twice after taking a bowl of medicine, and showed a kind smile, "Jinghe is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me see if my Jinghe has lost weight."

"No, my son is fine." Lu Jingan also went to kneel on the footrest, bowing his head so that the emperor could touch his head.

The feet are covered with a blanket, which is soft, and kneeling is not uncomfortable.

The emperor patted her on the head with a very gentle force, and then looked at the respectful and tall prince, and suddenly sighed, and said tiredly: "You have grown up, I am old."

Lu Jingan's eyes were sore, he lowered his eyes and was speechless.I only heard the prince's gentle voice, "Father is in his prime, so how can you be considered old? You are the real dragon emperor, and you are blessed by the heavens. You will surely live a long life."

The emperor chuckled twice and shook his head, "I don't want a long life, I know my body well, it's just Chen'er..."

He looked at the prince with something meaningful in his eyes, "Those younger brothers of yours are useless, and I don't ask you to treat them well. If you can take care of them, you can take care of them. If you can't... because you are brothers... , save your life."

It seems that he is very clear about the actions of those few in private.

It is true that there is unwillingness to be reconciled. After all, there is no power in the heart. People are mortal. Even if he can make up his mind to let the empress down again, he can't let the world go.

"...Yes, my son is leading the decree." The prince paused, then slowly bowed his head and knelt down.

"Come on, it's not a decree." The emperor waved his hand wearily, his voice full of fatigue, "If you want to remember, you can write it down, it's just an entrustment from me as a father."

"Father, what did you say? You are still in good health." Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lu Jingan hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two, pouted and flirted with the emperor.

Not to mention, she usually acted like a baby, but this time it was really effective. The emperor's expression softened visibly, and he patted her on the head with a smile, and said softly: "Take care of my body!" Well, with Jinghe's auspicious words, I can live a long life."

People say that when the end is approaching, there will always be a feeling. Emperor Yongjia probably also felt this way. He is also a wise king. He has been soaked in the honey of power for many years. There is nothing wrong with wanting to seize it. I can let it go.

The father and son talked for a while, and the atmosphere was rare and gentle. After a while, the emperor let the crown prince leave, leaving behind Lu Jingan, and then retreated from the crowd. He looked straight at her and said, "Jinghe, I know you have an idea." Yes, you have been different from others since you were a child, and even your prince brother has been influenced by you a lot, my time is approaching, can you tell me now, what do you want?"

Lu Jingan was silent for a while, avoiding his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Father, what are you talking about?"

"The Yun Ya next to you has changed his personality a lot in the past two years, but his way of acting is similar to yours." The emperor smiled, lifted his body up, and sat up and leaned against the head of the bed with Lu Jingan's strength. , "You, you should know what happened to her."

"Father, this son is the princess of Daxia, your daughter, and won't..."

"Yeah, father knows that you haven't done anything that is detrimental to my great country in all these years, so I just want to know, your purpose, at least let me leave without regret."

This time Lu Jingan was silent for a longer period of time, before he thought for a while before saying: "What purpose do I have, Father, you see that I have done so much, how can I hide it from you? Isn't it just... the old has something to support, and the young has something to offer Yi, the people all have food."

Can eat enough food, can have clothes to wear, can have their own dignity.

"What's more, I want all women in the world to be free to do what they want like my son-in-law."

At the beginning, she only said a few words, but the old father's eyes were too gentle, and she even rambled a lot later on, and what was even more rare was that she even got the emperor's approval and encouragement.

"I'm probably not as good as you." The emperor sighed, his eyes became more complicated, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your firearms battalion...forget it, do you want to become an official? While I can still move now, I'll lay a bed for you." paving."

Lu Jingan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to speak so bluntly, he was a little embarrassed, but the rejection was not to his liking, so he struggled.But some things can't be changed overnight, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she left according to her original plan, "Father, to be honest, I don't have much interest in government affairs. You know that I like to wield knives and guns since I was a child." Yes, it's just that Erchen plans to take Feifengying to the border next year."

"Well, it's good to practice and practice." The emperor didn't say much when he heard her refusal. After training in Feifeng Battalion for so long, and he was in charge of firearms, he couldn't just use it for decoration.

After a while, the emperor's face became more tired, and Li Jinzhong came to remind him that it was time to rest, so Lu Jingan hurriedly got up and left, and asked the palace staff to take good care of the emperor, but she didn't notice the complicated look in the emperor's eyes when she left.

Yunya ate a plate of dim sum in the side hall, drank a pot of Lu'an Guapian, and the second pot was half drunk before the princess came in with a sullen face, "How is it?"

"Is the tea good?" Lu Jingan didn't answer her question, but instead glanced at the tea in her hand.

"It's not bad, very fragrant tea." Yun Ya raised her eyebrows, speaking a little annoyed.

Lu Jingan twitched his eyebrows a few times, glared at her, and left Yong'an Hall without saying a word, pulling her sleeve.Hurriedly returning to Changle Palace, Lu Jingan took Yun Ya directly to the inner room, frowned and said, "You don't need to ask the Feifeng camp, let them prepare, we may leave for northern Xinjiang in a while."

"So fast? It's not good to travel in winter, and the emperor just now..."

"Sometimes there might be something going on in northern Xinjiang, forget it." Lu Jingan wanted to control the situation in the past, but now the capital may need more care, "Let them prepare, but first suppress the news."

"Northern Xinjiang is much colder than here, the training method has changed a little bit, and the military supplies have to be counted." Lu Jingan's eyes darkened, and the urgency and worry in his heart became stronger, but then he thought about it, there are at least two or three months. , not in a hurry, and then said: "Well, you don't need to be in a hurry for military supplies, just check the inventory and the output of the utensil workshop. The main reason is this group of girls from the Feifeng Camp. They have never experienced a real war."

"You don't have to be so anxious." Yun Ya listened to her rambling for a while, and couldn't hold back her hand to smooth the wrinkles between her brows.

Lu Jingan was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously loosened his brows. He flinched back, touched his nose, and blushed, "What are you doing, suddenly, suddenly? I."

Yun Ya originally wanted to talk to her about something serious, but now seeing her expression, her eyes darkened, she curled her lips, and decided to bring up a personal matter, "What does Jing An think of me? So why... how do you think I treat you like this."

As she said that, she lightly pressed the lower part of Lu Jingan's cheek. Seeing that there was no response, she chuckled again, raised her chin and approached slowly.

"How about... like this?"

Lu Jingan watched her face get closer and closer, and there was a dangerous light in her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes.She wanted to escape, but her body was stiff and unable to move, as if her acupuncture points had been tapped, until her lips felt cold, and the warm and soft touch made her eyes widen suddenly.
